Gemballa is a tuning company based in Leonberg near Stuttgart, Germany, which was founded by, and named after, Uwe Gemballa in 1981. They provided aftermarket parts mainly for Porsche. In May 2010, the Gemballa factory was seized by German authorities and shut down following the disappearance of Uwe Gemballa. Gemballa CEO Andreas Schwarz and investor Steffen Korbach were able to reopen Gemballa in August 2010.[1]

A 600 hp (450 kW) Gemballa model held the lap record for road cars at the N�rburgring in the late 1990s once, and again in 2001 when Wolfgang Kaufmann lowered it to 7:32,52 min. It was since beaten by a Porsche Carrera GT, by less than a second.
